[QUOTE="butterflydreams, post: 177715"] Ugh! I so know what you are talking about regarding the games. My difficult child loves Runescape and he likes to purchase items. He will ask me to buy Runescape Gold (the money used in the game). I used to be able to just use a credit card, but now the only way for me to purchase is PayPal. A while ago, difficult child wanted to use part of his allowance to buy some, I went in and purchased like $20 worth with PayPal, well I NEVER thought he would go in then and do a purchase without asking me, but he did. A few days later, he asked if he could use more of his allowance to buy this other thing for the game, I went to go in there and found that there had been a $100 charge that had been charged and then the charge was reversed! At first he denied knowing anything about it, then he confessed that he "accidentally" hit purchase. I was fuming! He did not get the other thing he wanted from there and I went in and removed the card from PayPal so that it couldn't happen again. As far as for XBox live, the only way he will get time is by a pre-purchased card, I will not do the automatic monthly charge for it nor will I load my credit card in there. Also, with cell phone, I had the same problem with him downloading music - I found it on the bill after he went inpatient last time. I was not happy at all, I did call and had the ability to download anything blocked from his phone. I am also going to be canceling his phone as soon as the agreement is up in Sept. IF I get him another phone, it will be prepaid, or I am considering canceling all of ours and going with Cricket or MetroPCS or some other plan like that, problem is my daughter and I are not near the end of our contracts so I would have to pay an early termination fee. I just have to decide if I would be saving enough. I can't stand the lying and the deceptiveness. I see some of the same stuff with my difficult child and he is 12. Christy [/QUOTE]
